Thousand Islands blew me off the planet in a “how can I move here again?” sort of way. 😻

💦 With 1,800 islands (maybe this place should be renamed to Almost Two Thousand Islands 😉) sprawling the St. Lawrence River, Thousand Islands turned out to be one of my favorite destinations along the 🇺🇸 and 🇨🇦 Border. 😊

💦 Once a quiet weekend getaway for Gilded Age millionaires, this buzzing twenty-first century summer tourist destination has always been postcard perfect. 😻

Last week, I got to go to The Elite Skin Perfection (@aquamineralph & @botanifique_ph) new store opening at Ayala Circuit Mall. Lemme tell you something, I’ve been using the Aqua Mineral dead sea salt scrub for about 2-3 years now and I am GLOWING. ✨

instagram vs. real life: ⁣
⁣
Traveling is amazing. I've always had a wanderlust spirit inside of me. However, the last 3 days in India, I've been battling a fever and may or may not have contracted worms.... which means 💩 for days. JUST SAYING! We choose Airbnb’s over hotels but in India you never really know what you’re gonna get haha so we’ve been sleeping on a wooden bed with a comforter basically. We call it “table bed”. needless to say, I’m ready to go home soon 😬
⁣
So, behind all the pretty travel pictures of Instagram comes sacrifice and perseverance at some point. like my 30 hour travel time to get home tomorrow 😂 has anyone else experienced this? Shoutout to my #11n11 people😘

As you may have seen in my stories, this was one of my favorite experiences in Sri Lanka. Picking out (and haggling for) the freshest seafood 🐟We were walking along Mirissa Beach and decided to stop for dinner. The sun was just about to set. We found a hotel restaurant that had some plastic tables on the beach. Instead of picking something from menu, the server told us that we could pick a fish from the fisherman (who were separate from the restaurant) and they would cook it up for us. I watched these fisherman display the fish (who were still flopping around 😳) five minutes before we approached them. We picked out a hefty red snapper (after settling on a price of $9 USD), watched a gorgeous sunset as it was prepared, and then enjoyed one of the best meals of our trip. Swipe through for the full experience!

I loved staying in this little flat in Barcelona. It was steps away from Museu Picasso and filled with stacks of books and art. The owners ran an art gallery downstairs and told us all the best places to eat. I will remember the paella and empanadas forever! 🥘 I was recently talking with a friend about her upcoming trip to Barcelona and it made me nostalgic for all that beautiful Gaudi architecture and those little cobblestone streets that turn around on each other. ❤️

Ever wondered what it's like behind the scenes on one of our smaller sets shooting for one of our clients?!

There’s a thing my yoga teacher says when she’s sharing something new with us students that she wants us to try: “see about it” she says. Usually it means in the next few moments I’ll be pushing my body in ways I didn’t know it could work. 🧘🏼‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️💪🏼 Whether it’s balancing, strength or flexibility I’m reminded in those moments how miraculous the body and mind is. ✨ (thank you for that @kellybcowden!)
✧
What’s happening for you right now that you need to “see about?” I bet if you go for it your body and mind will have your back.

p.s. here’s another photo from a sunshine-filled day in Joshua Tree, it’s a place I feel that balance, stretch and flexibility just by stepping outside. 🌵🌞 // 📷: @alisonprejean #mystication#joshuatree#gypset#spiritualist#manifestation#jtnp#abmtravelbug#wearetravelgirls#gltlove

On Sunday we spent 6 wonderful hours in Magic Kingdom with Roger’s family & then we drove 8 hours home & made it home right before midnight! Some people may say that was crazy, but the real crazy part is that we’ve already started planning our next Disney vacation! 😆 •
Anyone else love Disney so much that they are always planning another trip!? 🏰

Reminiscing on my wonderful NZ road trip as I just published the ‘best of hiking in New Zealand South Island’ guide! 🗻 LINK IN BIO!
New Zealand is home to spectacular natural landscapes and heart-stopping adventure! It’s famous for attractions like Coronet Peak and Remarkables for the snow bunnies and Fiordland National Park, where Milford Sound’s mystery leaves you in awe.
With so much scenery on offer, it’s only natural that hiking is a popular South Island activity. The South Island has a variety of walks both short and long for both day hikers and avid adventurers. There is something for everyone and every type of experience or scenery.
From Roys Peak to Abel Tasman Coast Track, the South Island offers unparalleled hiking experiences for every fitness level. Check out our best of hiking New Zealand South Island! LINK IN BIO 🌄🏞 #destinationnz#mackenzienz#wanderlustofnz#nzmustdo

Formerly a theatre 🎭 now a bookstore 📚 El Ateneo is glorious with bookshelves everywhere, including the balconies! The Guardian called it the second most beautiful book store in the world and I can see why 😍
